If you passed `--messaging-socket-path` yourself and it fails, the error tells you what to do.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The message is \"Choose a different --messaging-socket-path whose directory you own and can make private (0700).\"\n- A path not given explicitly is resolved to an absolute path first.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`Choose a different --messaging-socket-path whose directory you own and can make private (0700).`\n\n- Area: Session Messaging\n- Names: `--messaging-socket-path`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
